Russify MS Windows: Fonts

Summary.
Microsoft fonts are in, Gavin Helf fonts are out.

Microsoft Fonts: Win 95, Win NT

Microsoft has come up with
good-looking and free cyrillic fonts.
Their fonts are much nicer than ForWWW fonts
that we originally recommended to use.
Therefore it is time to switch to Microsoft fonts.
Your choices are:

Windows NT

You should have Cyrillic fonts installed already.
All NT installations that I have seen have cyrillic support installed by default.

Windows 95 Russian or PanEuropen edition

You should have cyrillic Microsoft fonts already installed.
If not, install them as described below.

Windows 95 American edition

Most likely, you do not have Cyrillic fonts installed,
but they are included with your Windows distribution.
To install them,
go to ControlPanel. Add/RemovePrograms. WindowsSetup. MultilanguageSupport,
click Details,
select Cyrillic Language Support.
Click OK to complete the installation.

(3a)
If Windows complains that these fonts are already installed, delete
previously installed cyrillic fonts by selecting them and hitting Delete,
and then install new fonts from ForWWW.zip.
Important: The fonts in ForWWW.zip are improved versions of
the fonts that you may already have from previous visits to SIB
or from other sources.
You really need to install the new version of the fonts.
This is especially true for NT --
the old Cyrillic fonts just will not work.

Windows NT note:
The font name ROL-KOI8/Courier (file ROLK8C.TTF)
causes a conflict in Postscript when this
font is used to print to a postscript printer.
Dmitrii Manin (manin@camelot.mssm.edu) has modified this font to
fix this problem.
Modified font has a name of ROL-K8-Courier and it appears
in the file ROLK8C1.TTF.

Other Gavin Helf fonts: Win 3.1

If you need more fonts for your word processor or other applications,
then download, unzip and install some or all of the following
TrueType fonts developed by Gavin Helf.

Please note that these fonts are not particularly beautiful.
They are OK, but definitely not sexy -- just like ForWWW fonts.
So, if you can use Microsoft fonts with your application, go for them instead.
